This is back when 'Baywatch' wasn't just a surf soap, and more or less a traditional drama featuring likeable characters who happened to also be lifeguards.
There's three threads to this episode, the most significant finds Nelson and Warlock trying to solve a disturbing case of sabotage at a local water park where they're training novice lifeguards.
Elsewhere, Erika is caught posing for a magazine cover in breach of regulations (although Parker teaches Monte that not everything is as it seems), whilst what starts as a trip to the principal's office for his son's misbehaviour ends in romance for Mitch and his son's teacher (Wolter, who reprises the role a few times in season one).
There's humour, tension, action and pathos and despite the busy schedule, there's still time for a surf rescue before the closing credits. An overall decent if not necessarily beach-themed instalment of the superior first season.
